This OSHA Injury Report was compiled directly from data that is publicly available from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). OSHA Injury Reports can be helpful in understanding the types of workplace injury claims involving defective products or malfunctioning equipment in the workplace.
The manufacturers of defective equipment or machinery resulting in a worker injury may be found to be negligent and liable for damages in a separate civil lawsuit. You may be able to recover damages on top of a workers’ comp claim if injured in a job accident caused, in part, by a third party. These third party personal injury cases should be given responsible legal guidance.
Trammell Piazza Law Firm claims no responsibility for any errors or inconsistencies in OSHA’s data.

Report: Caught in running equipment or machinery during regular operation at Swan Products, LLC in Waco, Texas
DATE: 06/17/20
An employee was about to start winding the core of a hose on a reel, which requires attaching the end of the core to an air inlet on the side of the reel. The reel becomes automated once the hose core is attached and begins to spin. When she went to attach the core to the air inlet, the reel began to automatically spin. Her hand was caught between the spinning reel and a clamp that holds the pin in, resulting in a fracture to the second metacarpal bone of the left hand.
